  • Leveraging online identities to grant access to private networks
    Patent number: 9628484
    Abstract: An authentication service running on a processing device receives a request from a local area network (LAN) to authenticate a computing device (and/or a user of the computing device) that has attempted to access the LAN, the request comprising a first identifier (ID) that uniquely identifies the computing device. The authentication service determines whether to authenticate the computing device based on the first ID, information from a third party data set, and an authentication criterion of the LAN. Responsive to determining that the information from the third party data set satisfies the authentication criterion, the authentication service notifies the LAN that the computing device is authenticated.
